| Zusammenfassung |
| The study of the Mediterranean cyclones from a climatological point of view
has been one of the objectives of the first phase of WMO WWRP MEDEX
(MEDiterranean EXperiment) project. It
has been revealing itself like a good procedure for extracting conclusions
about their characteristics and behaviour.
The implementation on ECMWF ERA-40 reanalysis of the method for detecting and
tracking the cyclones developed at the Centro Meteorológico Territorial (CMT)
in Illes Balears of the Instituto Nacional de Meteorología (INM, Spain)
has allowed the selection of the most intense storms occurred for the last 45
years. This selection has been based on the value of the cyclones' circulation.
The areas of maximum intensification for those cyclones have been
obtained and the existence of preferential zones of intensification has been
verified. Finally a first sight of those cases has allowed to initiate the
check up of the ability of the ERA-40 re-analyses for reproducing these intense
Mediterranean storms. |
